Summary

Tennessee football freshman wide receiver TK Keys was limited during the team's first preseason practice on August 5. He participated in footwork drills but did not engage fully in contested passing drills. Coach Josh Heupel stated this was a precautionary measure as Keys manages a soft tissue issue unrelated to previous knee problems. Keys aims to return to full participation this week in preparation for the season opener against Furman on September 5. He is competing for a role in a talented receiver group, which includes established players like Braylon Staley and Mike Matthews.
